Avinash Sable in men’s 3000m steeplechase, Jyothi Yarraji in women’s 100m hurdles, Pooja Singh in women’s high jump, and Nandini Agasara in Heptathlon are the other Indians who have won gold medals in individual events.

In team events, the quartet of Santosh Kumar, Rupal Chaudhary, Vishal and Subha Venkatesan clinched the gold medal in the mixed 4x400m relay race, while Rupal and Subha were also part of the women’s team, which bagged gold in the women’s 4x400m race alongside Jisna Mathew and Rajitha.

Rupal has to be the breakout star of this Indian contingent in South Korea as he won the third medal, a silver this time, in the women’s 400m race.

After the day ended on Friday, India had grabbed seven silver and three bronze medals in addition to eight gold medals.

India’s best finish in the medal table was in 2017 in front of the home crowd in Bhubaneswar, where they finished first with 27 medals that included nine gold, six silver, and 12 bronze.

This was also India’s best medal haul at Asian Championships, which India repeated in the 2023 Bangkok edition as well. The best gold medal haul for India came in 1985 in Jakarta, where India won 10 gold medals.
